Shepherd's Sky Super Hut

General

Do you want to know what's better than a shepherd's hut? Easy - it's a super hut! Meet Shepherd's Sky - he's big, bold and bowl-you-over beautiful. Nestled in the corner of a field, snuggling up to a hedgerow behind, and facing onto a gentle hillside with glorious views for mile after mile, Shepherd's Sky is the only place to be when you want to kick back with a glass of something cool and bubbly and gaze at a panoramic view of an incredible sunset. Stoke up the firepit and sizzle a few bangers or roast some s'mores - go on, you know you want to…

At Shepherd's Sky you're close to nature yet far from the madding crowd - but there's no shortage of home comforts. At 36 feet long there's space to stretch out and relax, with an open-plan living/dining cooking area featuring a cosy wood-burner and a TV for rainy-day chillaxing. The fully fitted kitchen is kitted out to the nines, with a full-sized gas cooker and fridge, heaps of storage and plenty of worktop space, while the bedrooms at each end - a double and a triple - are pretty and comfortable. Off the corridor that leads to the double bedroom is a swish en-suite shower room, with shower, WC and wash basin (hot and cold running water, of course).

Such luxury goes proudly hand in hand with great green credentials, from the solar panels to the wildlife boxes, via rainwater recycling and low-energy light bulbs (you can polish up your eco-warrior halo). What's more, you can easily leave the car at home and explore the area on two wheels, parking your bike in the storage shed behind the hut when you're ready to relax. This is a gorgeously unspoilt rural area, full of wonderful winding lanes, ancient farmsteads and pretty villages. Somewhere to come back to time and time again.

Eco-features

The owners have taken every measure to make the hut and grounds as 'green' as possible. From using low energy light bulbs to collecting rain water for the garden and providing boxes and habitats to encourage native wildlife. The hut is run off renewable energy via solar panels. They really have gone the extra mile.

Out and About

Shepherd's Sky is set within a historic farm on the outskirts of the mid-Devon village of Cheriton Fitzpaine. Wander along to the welcoming, dog friendly pub and enjoy a pint or two, pop into the handy, well-stocked community-run shop or try the farm shop on the other side of the village, where you can buy local produce and enjoy tea and cake in the lovely cafe.
